Khayyam wants to be a rip roaring adventure, but it too often substitutes activity for excitement; it goes through the moves, but there's no real life in it. It also suffers from a failing common to such period offerings, namely dialogue that, when it is not stiff or stilted, is disturbingly anachronistic. Director William Dieterle certainly knows how to handle the crowd scenes and to make sure that the physical settings and trappings get sufficient play, but he doesn't seem to have a great deal of interest in the trite story or the cardboard characters. Oddity-collectors will be glad to view Yma Sumac, a cult singing sensation of the period who is here only to show off her freakish vocal stylings. And what of star

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 ... Page 6 The Rubaiyat Depending on the sources of reference that one chooses, Omar Khayyam is believed to have composed somewhere between 200 and 600 Rubaiyat (quatrains). Some are known to be authentic and are attributed to him, while others seem to be combinations or corruption of his poetry, and whose origins are more dubious. The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is among the few masterpieces that has been translated into most languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, and Urdu. The most famous translation of the Rubaiyat from Farsi into English was undertaken in 1859 by Edward J. Fitzgerald. It appears that in many of his translations, he has combined a few of the Rubaiyat to compose one, and sometimes it is difficult to trace and correspond the original to the translated version. However, he has tried his utmost to adhere to the spirit of the original poetry. The Farsi collection presented in this web page is almost universally believed to be authentic and or his own original composition. At this time, it does not include all the Rubaiyat, though a significant proportion. For the benefit of the non-Farsi speaking reader, I have included two translations. One is as a literal translation, with the aim of conveying the wording of the original poetry, leaving it to the reader to draw his/her own conclusions. And another is a "meaning" translation, with the intention of conveying the spirit of the poetry to the reader, (at least as understood by this author.)

A literal translation of the name al-Khayyami (or al-Khayyam) means 'tent maker' and this may have been the trade of Ibrahim his father. Khayyam played on the meaning of his own name when he wrote:- Khayyam, who stitched the tents of science, Has fallen in grief's furnace and been suddenly burned, The shears of Fate have cut the tent ropes of his life, And the broker of Hope has sold him for nothing! The political events of the 11 th Century played a major role in the course of Khayyam's life. The Seljuq Turks were tribes that invaded southwestern Asia in the 11 th Khayyam studied philosophy at Naishapur and one of his fellow students wrote that he was:- ... endowed with sharpness of wit and the highest natural powers ... However, this was not an empire in which those of learning, even those as learned as Khayyam, found life easy unless they had the support of a ruler at one of the many courts. Even such patronage would not provide too much stability since local politics and the fortunes of the local military regime decided who at any one time held power. Khayyam himself described the difficulties for men of learning during this period in the introduction to his

In his own country, Omar Khayyam was renowned for his scientific achievements, but not as a poet. His rhymes were rediscovered by the English scholar and poet Edward FitzGerald (1809-83) in the mid-nineteenth century. A Book of Verses underneath the Bough, A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread - and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness - O, Wilderness were Paradise enow! (trans. by Edward FitzGerald) Omar Khayyam was born Ghiyath al-Din Abul Fateh Omar Ibn Ibrahim al-Khayyam in Nishapur, the capital of Khurasan. At that time the commercially rich province was under the rule of Seljuq Turks, who were completing their infiltration of Iran, Mesopotamia, and Asia Minor. Eventually they confronted the Crusades from Europe. Little is known of Omar's early life. The epithet Khayyam signifies "tent-maker" – it is possible that Omar or his father, Ibrahim the Tentmaker, one time exercised that trade. Omar was educated at his native town, where he studied under the celebrated teacher the Iman Mowaffak. In Samara he completed his treatise on algebra. When the Seljuq Sultan Malik Shah offered him preferment at court, Omar made a request: "The greatest boon you can confer on me," he said, "is to let me live in a corner under the shadow of your fortune, to spread wide the advantages of Science, and pray for your long life and prosperity."

ASTRONOMICAL REFERENCES IMAD-AD-DEAN AHMAD Minaret of Freedom Institute 4323 Rosedale Avenue Bethesda, MD 20814 USA Delivered to the Third International Conference on the Inspiration of Astronomical Phenomena, Mondell, Sicily, January, 2001 ABSTRACT. Omar Khayyam was both an astronomer and a poet. We examine the astronomical references in different translations of his poetry and in Elihu Vedder's illustrations of the first American edition of Edward Fitzgerald's famous translation as the takeoff points for discussing the controversy as to the meaning of his poetry and the differences in culture between 11th-century Iran where he wrote them and 19th-century Britain and America where Fitzgerald and Vedder respectively were born. Coming from a society in which science and religion are viewed as antagonists, Fitzgerald misconstrued Omar�s poetry as a materialist diatribe against religious belief. Like all great poetry, Omar�s verse is so deep and so rich in meaning that it can be understood on many different levels and in different ways. Thus, many people from atheists to Christian clerics, from materialists to mystics, have professed that Omar is one of them. Speaking as an astronomer, I can say without fear of contradiction, that Omar was definitely "one of us." For that reason it is appropriate for this meeting to take a look at the astronomical allusions in his poetry and compare how their interpretation is affected by cultural context. I here focus on the literary translations of the Iranian-American scholar Ahmad Saidi (1991) and the British poet Edward Fitzgerald and the artistic interpretations of the American artist Elihu Vedder who illustrated the first American edition of the Rubaiyat (Fitzgerald 1884). Given the location of this conference, I should mention that Vedder executed his illustrations during his lengthy stay in Italy in the early 1880�s. My research has also been informed by reviewing a number of literal translations, notably those of Graves and Ali-Shah (1967) and Arberry (1952).

comment + criticism welcome "Perceptions" ITEM Ray Dickenson Magi - early Eastern philosophers - (and a great poet) Istanbul's astronomers at work, with just two western instruments - a world, or maybe celestial, globe (front center) and a carriage-clock (middle far right). The main-man is Taqi al-Din ibn Muhammad ibn Ma'ruf, the Director of Istanbul Observatory. He's one of the two senior astronomers (wearing largest turbans) standing behind the table, one holding the astrolabe, an early analog computer, in which they are clearly interested. Just to confuse us, western Assyriologists also refer to Mesopotamian constellation-lists - i.e. text documents - as `astrolabes'. That seems a bit silly. The astrolabe's origin is mysterious, probably well before 400 CE, maybe in the Arab / Persian world, which inherited both genius and records from the Babylonians and the ancient Greeks. (Like the Antikythera Mechanism Wiki ref , a working video project updates The astrolabe computer can solve celestial navigation problems, including checking the `time'. astrolabe page "From the ninth century to the fifteenth, Muslim scholars excelled in every branch of scientific knowledge.

The Rubayyat of Omar Khayyam The character of Safar Timura is loosely based on Omar Khayyam, the ancient Persian poet and astronomer. The son of a tentmaker, Khayyam rose to become the chief astrologer of the sultan, his boyhood friend. Just as Safar, the son of a potter, rose to become the chief wazier of the king, his boyhood friend. Khayyam (A.D. 1044-1123) is best known to us today for his poetry, collected in the remarkable "Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam." Of all the many English translations of this work, I prefer Edward Fitzgerald�s. For the edification of my readers, I offer all of Khayyam's remarkable poetry below. If you want to buy it in book form - which I highly reccommend, most editons will cost you less than six dollars. But, more about Omar: Students of mathematical history also know him as a pioneer in algebra and geometry. Experts say his mathematical discoveries remained unmatched for centuries - to the time of Descartes(A.D. 1596-1650). I first came across "The Rubaiyat" in a bazaar when I was a boy living on the island of Cyprus. Battered and torn, I only paid a few pennies for it. But the first words I read tumbled out like upturned chests of gold: "Awake! for the morning in the bowl of night Has flung the stone that puts the stars to flight. And lo! the hunter of the east has caught The sultan�s turret in a noose of light."
